Dawn's Destiny

Down One More, Remaining Three ~ Chapter 132

"There we go, that's all the spells I need for this..." Magnus sighed as he finished making the mini spellbook. He breathed a sigh of relief and sat on his chair. The time was ticking down slowly. "Why is it so damn hard for me to not attack the heroes?!"

Suddenly there was a glow in the distance. Magnus looked over in confusion and went into the room. From there he saw the glow around the coffins. Each of the coffins had an ominous glow to them. But Magnus was intrigued by the interesting glow...

Magnus questioned, "My... My... what is this all about?" He looked at the glowing light but it kept zipping everywhere in the room. Magnus groaned and then grabbed the glowing light. Suddenly it went inside of him.

It made him a lot stronger once more. Each time he took a hero's life away he was getting more and more stronger. He smiled evilly down at himself. He was proud of his efforts and everything he was able to accomplish.

Magnus laughed, "I've been able to kill so many heroes even the gods are so proud of me they're granting new abilities to play with." He looked around the coffin room and walked out. He went down to sit on the couch and then stared at his journal.

He flipped through the journal and saw all the little notes he wrote to himself when he was younger. The different ways he wanted to help change the world. The different ways he would change life in the household. Magnus grew sick of the little things he wrote there. It made him disgusted.

Magnus groaned, "I can't believe when I was younger I was thinking about the many different ways I wanted to help humanity. Humanity is a disgrace after what they did to me. After... EVERYTHING..." He slammed his hand on the desk as he grabbed his hair in anger. "STUPID ASSHOLES!"

"Magnus,"

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?!"

"Magnus calm down, it's just me..." Magnus turned over and noticed a snake-like creature. Magnus looked at them and his jaw dropped open. "Zehira?!" He looked at him in shock, he had heard about Zehira but never thought about seeing him in person.

Zehira laughed, "Magnus! You have done such a splendid job at what you've been able to accomplish! You're such a good child..." Magnus stared at him and back down at himself. He suddenly felt himself tearing up for some reason. "Magnus, what seems to be troubling you?"

"I... I never was praised for my efforts..." Magnus looked down at himself in sadness as he remembered his entire childhood. Nobody really praised him because he had different ideals from them. Not anymore but the only person who really did was his mother.

"Why not?"

Magnus replied, "My parents dumped me to my grandfather when I was young. They got me experimented on and I haven't been the same since. I've been desperate to wipe the heroes away so I can find some peace at long last..."

Zehira sighed, "My poor son... don't you worry about a thing. I'm going to take care of you..." Zehira wrapped his tail around Magnus as Magnus looked at him with a small gentle smile. It felt nice to be appreciated by someone. Even if they were someone he wasn't too familiar with.

"You really think so?"

"Of course, you know how I'm going to treat you. I'm going to treat you better than everyone else... your parents weren't there when you needed them the most..." Zehira replied as he hugged Magnus with his tail. Magnus looked up at him and nodded.

Magnus muttered, "Thank you Zehira... you mean so much to me than my parents ever did..." Magnus looked at Zehira as he turned away for a brief moment. Zehira pulled him back in with his tail and smirked at him.

"All in a day's work, I want to protect you Magnus so I will forever stay at your side... You are a good child and you know when to not quit, soon you'll be able to destroy that Exalt and take back what was once yours," Zehira sighed as he hugged Magnus.

Magnus laughed, "Chrom Lowell, my arch enemy. He shall pay for everything he has done..." Magnus clenched his fist as he thought of all the ways Chrom would die. It would be painful, it would be destruction. It would tear him apart and leave Dawn in shambles. The world would be dead...

"Mr. Lowell has done more harm than good, he will die because of his mistakes..." Zehira groaned. Magnus nodded in agreement as he looked toward the roof of the castle he was staying at. Thinking about the many efforts Chrom did to him in order to cause his losses. Not anymore, he was going to make sure that Chrom was not going to win.

"Yes... he will... then we will see who is cheering in the end when someone wins..." Magnus chuckled. He looked down at himself thinking about the ways Chrom would die. However, he thought about leaving him to die last. That way, it would be the most satisfying kill from all the heroes.

The plan was perfect, the ideas; everything... it was all set in stone. The Exalt was going to die very soon alongside his pesky friends. There was no stopping Magnus, with the support of Zehira. He knew what to do...

"Goodbye... Exalt of Ylisse..."
